Ruud, thank you for sending an email reporting your SWL reception of my 15 m CW signal from a SOTA summit today. I was operating from Josephine Peak near Los Angeles, California. My station was an Elecraft K3 running 100w to a homebrew 15 m Moxon antenna. My backpack was about 12 kg for the 6.5 km hike to the summit with 600 m of elevation gain, but the results were well worth it. I was able to make 5 summit to summit contacts to stations in Europe. Thank you again for the SWL report! 73 de K6ARK

Hello Ruud,
Many thanks for your kind SWL report and for sharing your great passion for radio listening! It’s always a pleasure to meet dedicated listeners who keep the spirit of radio alive.
I really appreciated your recording and the detailed information, it’s very helpful for us operators in the field.
Keep up the excellent work, and I wish you many good receptions and interesting signals to chase!

Ruud, I received your qsl a few weeks ago via the DX bureau. I will attempt to send a card back to you. To answer your question about my power level. WSPR signals have the power encoded in the transmission, or at least what the operator has listed as power. I believe your stick on strip on QSL has your answer. WSPR lists power in dbm, the 33 after my grid square 'should' have been my power. 33dbm is 2 watts. if. you are not familiar with dbm to watts there are online tables that will show it.
30dbm is 1watt, for every 3db change power either doubles or halves.

Thank you for your message, QSO log, and photo. I hope that the QSL card from my club colleague S57RT will reach you soon. On your website, we can read that you are wholly committed to SWL-ing especially outdoors. Congratulations on your perseverance. As an outdoor enthusiast, you might be interested in my contribution to the popularity of these activities. You can read more in the ANG translated article at https://s50e.si/pota-sota-dxcluster/

Hi Ruud, many thanks for your report of my CQ on August 12th 2025, 13:15 UTC ; 14 060 kHz, CW. I was running 5 watts into my OS5Z antenna under the roof of my house. At that time there was no answer… except you today by e-mail ! Your recording is very valuable to check how my keying is received. Keep enjoying listening. Best 73 from Toulouse (JN03qp)

Dear Ruud,
it was amazing to receive your report by e-mail with the audio track of my “CQ”: 12/07/2025, 09:02 UTC, 14,060 Mhz (20 m), mode CW and power 5W.
I'm so happy also because I’m a QRP station.
Very best and good DX,

Hi Ruud,
Thanks for the SWL report on the CW QSO between ES3KYR and ON6PQ on 27 June, 2025. I also thank you for the recording!
The conditions were terrible today: QSB taking S9+ stations down to S2, or even lower, with almost no propagation.
My station equipment is a Yaesu FT-991a, for CW my power is 100w, and my antenna is a ~40 meter long off-center fed dipole inverted-v at 12 meters above the ground.
My best wishes for you and your family, and please keep enjoying the hobby!

Dear Ruud.
Thank you for writing to me and for the report. That day I was by the sea, at the beach of Ca' Ballarin in the province of Venice (JN65gl), with an ICOM IC-705 and a homemade random antenna, powered by the usual 5 watts of my portable activities. I will send my QSL card and, I'll take the opportunity to wish you a happy and peaceful Easter.
